{title:'Auto-Import',desc:'Background staging folder watcher that automatically identifies and imports music. Three strategies: audio tags, folder name parsing, and AcoustID fingerprinting. Confidence-gated: 90%+ auto-imports, 70-90% queued for review, below 70% left for manual. Enable on the Import page Auto tab',page:'import'},
{title:'Wishlist Nebula',desc:'Wishlist redesigned as an interactive artist orb visualization. Each artist is a glowing orb with their photo — album fans and single moons orbit around them. Click orbs to expand, download albums/singles directly. Processing state shows live progress',page:'wishlist'},
{title:'Automation Group Management',desc:'Rename, delete, and bulk-toggle automation groups. Drag-and-drop automations between groups. Right-click group headers for context menu',page:'automations'},
{title:'Bidirectional Artist Sync',desc:'Artist Sync button now pulls new content from your media server AND removes stale library entries no longer on the server. Deep scan mode fetches full metadata for new tracks',page:'library'},
{title:'Server Playlists — Synced vs Unsynced',desc:'Server playlist view now shows all playlists from your media server with clear visual separation between synced and unsynced playlists',page:'sync'},
{title:'Provider-Agnostic Discovery',desc:'Similar artist matching, discovery pool, and incremental updates now work with any configured metadata source (Spotify, iTunes, Deezer) instead of requiring Spotify. Falls back through sources in priority order',page:'watchlist'},
{title:'Live Sidebar Badges',desc:'Watchlist and Wishlist sidebar nav items show live count badges that update from WebSocket pushes'},
{title:'Fix Source ID Embedding',desc:'Critical fix — all source ID tags (Spotify, MusicBrainz, Deezer, AudioDB) were silently skipped on every download due to a missing function parameter. Tags now embed correctly again'},
{title:'Fix Watchlist Scan False Failures',desc:'Artists with no new releases in the lookback window were incorrectly reported as scan failures. Empty discography now correctly treated as success'},
{title:'Fix Wishlist Album Remove',desc:'Removing albums from the Wishlist Nebula now works — API accepts album_name as fallback when album_id is unavailable'},

{date:'April 15, 2026'},
{title:'Dashboard Library Status Card',desc:'Smart card on the Dashboard showing your library state — server connection, track counts, last refresh time. Guides new users through setup, shows empty-library prompts, and lets you trigger a scan directly from the dashboard',page:'dashboard'},
{title:'AcoustID Scanner Upgrade',desc:'Now scans your full library (not just Transfer) to detect wrong downloads. Actionable fixes: retag with correct metadata, re-download the right track, or delete the wrong file. Enabled by default, runs daily'},
{title:'Tools Page',desc:'All tool cards (Database Updater, Quality Scanner, Duplicate Cleaner, Retag, Backups, Cache, etc.) and Library Maintenance moved from the Dashboard to a dedicated Tools page in the sidebar. Dashboard shows a quick-link card',page:'tools'},
{title:'Watchlist & Wishlist Sidebar Pages',desc:'Watchlist and Wishlist promoted from modals to full sidebar pages. All features preserved — artist grid, scan controls, batch operations, live activity, countdown timers, category cards with mosaic backgrounds. Header buttons now navigate to the pages',page:'watchlist'},

{title:'Picard-Style MusicBrainz Album Consistency',desc:'Recording MBIDs now pulled from the matched release tracklist instead of independent searches. Batch-level artist name used for stable cache keys. Post-batch consistency pass rewrites album-level tags on all files to guarantee identical MusicBrainz IDs — prevents Navidrome album splits'},
{title:'Fix Spotify API Leaking When Deezer/iTunes is Primary',desc:'Spotify was being called for watchlist album scanning, similar artist discovery, repair jobs, and the Artists page search even when another source was set as primary. All data-fetching now respects the configured primary source. Spotify playlist sync is unaffected'},
{title:'Fix OAuth Callback Port Hardcoding',desc:'Custom callback ports (SOULSYNC_SPOTIFY_CALLBACK_PORT / SOULSYNC_TIDAL_CALLBACK_PORT) are now respected in auth instruction pages and log messages instead of always showing 8888. Added startup diagnostics logging for callback port binding'},
{title:'Fix Wishlist Button on Non-Dashboard Pages',desc:'Wishlist button click handler moved to global init so it works from any page, not just the dashboard'},
{title:'Fix Allow Duplicates Setting Not Saving',desc:'The "Allow duplicate tracks across albums" toggle was never persisted — it silently reset to ON on every page reload. Now saves correctly'},
{title:'Fix Wishlist Dropping Cross-Album Tracks',desc:'Wishlist cleanup was removing same-titled tracks from different albums even when Allow Duplicates was enabled. Cleanup now respects the setting — same song from different albums can coexist in the wishlist'},
{title:'Fix "Replace Lower Quality" Setting Not Persisting',desc:'The import section appeared twice in the settings save payload — the second instance (with only staging_path) overwrote the first (with replace_lower_quality). Merged into a single block'},
